  • Title: Reconstructive procedures after breast cancer surgery.
    Author: Depoorter M.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1980; 79(2):119-24. PubMed ID: 7001821.
    Abstract:
    In reconstructive surgery after mastectomy or major resections of the chest wall, the greater omentum and the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap are very reliable procedures. The greater omentum, covered with skin grafts, allows reconstruction of large defects and is a very protective buffer. The latissimus dorsi flap as a compound muscle skin flap is the treatment of choice for cosmetic reconstruction after mastectomy.
